Today, I was showing the Instagram of my crush to my cousin. He double-tapped the picture, thinking it would zoom it in. It was posted 5 months ago. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I took a picture of myself and put it on Facebook. After I did so, I realized that in the background, you can see my crush's Facebook page up on my laptop. He tagged himself. FML
Today, I was looking through some old family photos. I don't know what the hell was going on in my head, but I idly double-tapped on one to zoom in. They were prints. FML
Today, I liked one of my crush’s Instagram post from 2012 while stalking his profile. Despite me realising my mistake and un-liking the post, he immediately followed me back, and sent me a DM saying, “Wow, that’s some deep digging.” I’m now referred to as his "creepy stalker archaeologist of Instagram." FML
Today, I accidentally followed and inboxed my crush from my dog’s Instagram account. FML
Today, my friend asked me to send her a picture of my crush. I've never talked to him so I had to take the picture without him knowing. My flash was on. FML
Today, I was stalking my Bumble match’s Instagram feed before I said hello. I went to tap for sound on a video of him getting his backside tattooed but accidentally double-tapped and liked the video. Sound turned on and I realized I liked a video of him farting. Couldn’t say hello after that. FML
Today, I accidentally liked a photo from 2013 while stalking an ex’s Instagram. Not only did she see it, but I also followed their entire family’s pages in a panicked attempt to cover up. It didn’t work. FML
Today, I was looking at the page of a girl I've had this big crush on for a long time. After getting a date with her and taking her horse back riding and having a picture taken of the two of us I find that she paint shopped me out of the picture before posting it. FML
Today I went on a date with my long time crush only to find out that we are distant cousins. FML
Today, my aunt asked me to bring photos to a family dinner, so I put them all on a USB stick. After dinner, everyone sat around the TV while I plugged it in. The first photo that appeared was a screenshot of my ex's most recent Instagram story. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

As someone who has never used Instagram, I'm going to guess this action "likes" the picture or something?

Yes, it likes the picture. I mean, technically, it's a heart but you've got the general idea.

And you can't 'un-heart' the picture?

Double tap on IG likes their picture.

I don't get it. If they post regularly why were you showing them a 5 month old pic? If they don't and the picture is one of the last couple posted then what's the issue?
mariri9206 32
They can post regularly but it's not necessarily a picture of themselves. IG is rarely used for selfies or pictures of yourself. That's what fb - and occasionally twitter - is for.

I'm confused. You didnt want your crush to know you've stalked their page? Maybe this action will cause your crush to communicate with you. Could lead to a friendship, or even relationship. Might turn in your favor.

Why were you looking at her photo from 5 years ago?

Months. 5 months ago.

Tip: if you ever accidentally like an old photo just quickly unlike it and like their newest photo, they will think the notification they received is from the new photo and you don't look like a stalker!

I can tell you that there has never been a time that i saw someone like an old photo and thought it was creepy or stalkerish. I just assumed they were on my fb/ig/tumblr/twitter/etc, and were scrolling down for while and ended up enjoying something i posted. Its pretty easy to do.
